You can now actually play with curiosity and have a better search engine throwing back at you interesting threads to pull. As readers and curious humans, it's up to us to learn to ask better questions and verify the correctness of the answers we get: \"But for now, it is enough to point out that GPT-3 is unreliable. Yet it also enables a new way of traversing the internet—sideways and at the speed of conversation. And this is valuable because you can reach places you would never have reached on the internet itself.\" -- Can we learn new concepts at work faster? Can we use GPT-3 to simulate interesting challenges (generating managerial dilemmas) while seeking advice on solving them?",13,[17,25,33,39],{"listName":6,"listNumber":7,"listDate":8,"cardDate":18,"label":19,"title":20,"url":21,"domain":22,"summary":23,"timeToRead":24},1660817700,"funny!","Remember Kids, Always Test in Production Like Airbnb","https:\u002F\u002Ftwitter.com\u002Fdinkydani21\u002Fstatus\u002F1559810378774847489","twitter.com","My humble effort to help you start the weekend with a smile on your face.",1,{"listName":6,"listNumber":7,"listDate":8,"cardDate":26,"label":27,"title":28,"url":29,"domain":30,"summary":31,"timeToRead":32},1661024246,"culture","The False Trade-Off Between Quality and Speed","https:\u002F\u002Fmaruz.medium.com\u002Fthe-false-trade-off-between-quality-and-speed-7f0f9e93fdd","maruz.medium.com","\"In the current world of service development, products are built as long-term services that keep evolving over time to adapt to their users’ needs. As a consequence of this, most product development work happens in the context of an existing code-base and an existing live product. [...] For most cases and in most stages of the lifecycle of a project, building low quality software is slower than building high quality software.\" -- Mario Caropreso with a brilliant and important take. First, writing your definition of quality would be a great exercise. Second, shifting the framing that software should work for years, you now look at the notion of speed very differently.
